A display we did with our youth group (7 - 11 yr olds) when we were looking at the story of Joseph and the coat of many colors. each quarter was made up of 6 puzzle pieces (so 24 in total). kids painted them individually and they were then stuck together. thinking was meant to be the dreams were a bit of a puzzle without God enabling Joseph to interpret them

Tuscan Chicken Skillet - the perfect one-pan meal that's a delicious mix of chicken, white beans, tomatoes and herbs. We actually added two cans of beans and this dish went a long way. The sauce thickens with the beans cooking down in the tomatoes, and tastes delicious with crusty bread. Loved this dish.

Aebelskivers (pancake balls) from The Baker Upstairs. These delicious Danish pancakes are crisp on the outside and hollow on the inside, and perfect for stuffing with strawberries, whipped cream, or nutella. They're also amazing with just syrup and powdered sugar! www.thebakerupstairs.com

Clean Eating Taco Seasoning- Really liked this. So much better than the packets and not all the junk in them. I made no changes and used the entire amount with 1 lb of beef. I did it just like with a pack, added it with a bit of water after the meat was cooked. It's a wee bit spicy, so cut down on the cayenne if your fam doesn't like heat.

"Flower Fest" - stamped the flower 4 times with versamark onto pretty in pink card stock and embossed with white embossing powder; leaves stamped onto pear pizzazz and did the same white embossing with them. Cut and layered up the flower with some dimensionals. Added a bit of color to the flowers using aqua painter and some Melon Mambo ink - could use leaves from secret garden framelit

hashbrown casserole, I sautéed the onion in the butter, only used 3/4 of a stick of butter, and no milk, just did a bit extra sour cream, loved the Zattaran's seasoning added just a bit of a kick and I also did broil mine at end for just a min. Served it with crock pot Barbeque chicken, salad and Kale chips (for a green) it was a hit the least healthy thing on the plate and of course my fav!

pumpkin pancakes. I used almond milk & they were still delicious. I added a little extra milk to thin the batter a bit. This recipe made about 14 pancakes. I topped with candied pecans & powdered sugar.

Grilled Halibut with Cilantro Garlic Butter | "This was delicious, and the fish was like butter. We did add a little salt and pepper at the table, and I might try seasoning with red pepper before cooking. But, overall, fantastic."

Barrel of Monkeys - PreMade monkeys, high frequency words, some with no words and bananas on them... kids take turns taking a monkey out and reading the word, when they get a monkey with a banana, they say "bananas" and put all of their monkeys back in the barrel.

Simple Asian Soy-Peanut Noodles - we have made these TWICE this week - we can't get enough of them! The original recipe was a little too salty for me so we added extra honey and peanut butter ... SO Delicious!!

Blueberry-Oatmeal Smoothie --- this smoothie is DELICIOUS! Had to add a little water in it because I did two bananas and it was really thick. Also added flax, chia and a blueberry muffin yogurt. But SO YUMMY!

Lotus Root A favorite of mine, but an unusual ingredient to find in most stores. When most of us think "lotus," we may think of the beautiful aquatic flower or the yoga position. But did you know that the rhizome of the lotus plant is edible? On the outside it looks like a long cylindrical brown tuber, but slice one crosswise, and you'll be rewarded with beautiful, lace-like slices of a crunchy and delicious vegetable.

Poopie diaper #babyshowergame. Cut out diapers from white felt and safety pin together. Smear one or two with a little bit of chocolate (I used nutella). Pass them out for guests to wear when they arrive. Have them check the diaper right before they leave. Whoever has "soiled" diaper wins a prize.
